Vaccines

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’‰ Well, I was wrong in how I interpreted the PHAC vaccine guidance! This article (2025-10-06) says that every BC resident over 6 months old in BC can get a COVID vax! They are doing the most vulnerable first; the general public should be able to start getting them in “mid-month”.

I don’t know if the general public will get invites. (They didn’t in the spring; I had to phone the special number (1-833-838-2323).)
